I finished a second chapter. I actually finished it a few weeks ago. I know, don’t hate me.

I’m thinking rather seriously of scratching it and doing it again. The further I got and the more chapters I wrote, the more I realized that it’s taken on a completely different tone from what I had wanted and expected. It sounds more like an adopted child’s dilemma drama than the adventure story I had originally planned.

I believe that the problem lies more specifically in the way that I wrote it. While a great place to begin would be the beginning, it’s too slow that way (in this situation, at least) – takes away quite a bit of mystery as well.

I’m going to try this again. I’m half-way through a re-write. I have, simultaneously, written more of this as is in order to feed myself more content to work with in a re-write.

Bear with me.
